“…Likewise, in recreational freestyle skiing and snowboarding, it has been found that the rate of severe injuries, in the form of spine and head injuries, is double inside terrain parks compared with outside 78. Furthermore, it has recently been demonstrated that a preponderance of the injuries occur in jumps, kickers and the halfpipe, in other words, in features that facilitate aerial manoeuvers 45 48 79 80. In order to mitigate the risk of these injuries, we need more refined data on their sport-specific risk factors and mechanisms.…”

“…Out of 19 injuries in these disciplines, 6 resulted in an estimated absence of more than 2 weeks (fractures, contusions, distortions). As these athletes expose themselves to aerial manoeuvres and jump-landing tasks under high-speed conditions (slopestyle) or compete in heats with considerably risk-taking attitudes (cross),36 46 47 the occurrence of more severe injuries happening is not surprising.…”

BackgroundInjury and illness surveillance during high-level youth sports events is an important first step in health prevention and caretaking of the young elite athletes.AimTo analyse injuries and illnesses that occurred during the 10 days 2nd Youth Olympic Winter Games (YOG), held in Lillehammer 2016.MethodsWe recorded the daily occurrence (or non-occurrence) of injuries and illnesses through the reporting of (1) all National Olympic Committee (NOC) medical teams and (2) the polyclinic and medical venues by the Lillehammer Organising Committee (LYOCOG) medical staff.ResultsIn total, 1083 athletes (48 double-starters), 46% (n=502) of them females, from 70 NOCs were registered in the study. NOCs and LYOCOG reported 108 injuries and 81 illnesses, equalling to 9.5 injuries and 7.2 illnesses per 100 athletes. The percentage of injured athletes was highest in the snowboard and ski slopestyle and cross disciplines, alpine skiing and skeleton, and lowest in the Nordic skiing disciplines. Approximately, two-thirds of the injuries (n=71, 65.7%) prevented the athlete from training or competition, while 10 injuries (9.3%) were registered with an estimated absence from sport for >7 days. The rate of illness was highest in curling and the Nordic skiing disciplines with most of them being respiratory tract infections (81.5%).ConclusionsOverall, 9% of the athletes incurred at least one injury during the games, and 7% an illness, which is similar to the first YOG in Innsbruck 2012 and slightly lower compared with previous Winter Olympic Games. The incidence of injuries and illnesses varied substantially between sports.

“…Cross disciplines are a motocross-inspired mixture of freestyle and alpine events, characterised by courses which include banks, compressions, jumps and giant slalom-type turns 16. Recent video analyses have revealed that the main injury situations in both cross disciplines involved jumping 17 18…”
